Taking your practice to incredible levels of success is not nearly as difficult as you may think. It does take a bit of time, but applying the principles outlined below allows any dentist to move to the next level.
Understand your numbers. Many dentists are under the incorrect assumption that only their accountant needs to know and understand their numbers. This is far from the truth. To some extent, every member of the team should know production metrics, especially the doctor and office manager.
Don't forget the importance of being a great leader. The importance of leadership to dental practice success cannot be overstated. Dental teams are often made up of dedicated, hard-working, wonderful people, but they need direction and that is what leadership is all about. Leadership is about training the team how to act, what to do, and when to act.
